Greek Yogurt as a substitute! - Safeway

So I just buy any Greek yogurt that's cheapest or on sale, I'm not particular about brands. I have recently learned that Greek yogurt is a great substitute for sour cream and mayonnaise, and have begun using it in things, and wow, its much healthier and you can't tell a difference! The tangyness and consistency is great, it can be blended in with lots of things!! So just this summer I began buying this yogurt for smoothies. Then, because I had it around, and was learning all about it from Rocco on TV :), I have now used it in a mayo/dijon dipping sauce for homemade fries (dijon mustard, a little mayo, yogurt, seasonings; blend), which was great. And in tuna salad (just used a little mayo to flavor it, and seasonings like usual), which was great as well! And as I had facebooked, my husband used it in mashed potatoes when we were out of sour cream, but accidentally used Vanilla flavored -- was weird; it was edible but not recommended. :) So make sure you buy PLAIN for all these!! I'm gonna try it in chicken salad, pasta salad & spinach dip next!! Give it a whirl!! :)

Breyer's Limited Edition "Grasshopper Pie" - Safeway

Yum. This is one of the best new ice creams I've had in a while. If you love thin mints/ grasshoppers, you'll love this!!! Thin mint type of cookies in a very light not overly minty ice cream; so refreshing!! Look for sales, I love buying Breyers only when its on sale, which is fairly often at Safeway, thankfully! :)

Chloe Agnew - "Walking in the Air" - itunes

So I bought this album on itunes probably a couple years ago, wanting something relaxing and simple. It has been one that I revisit time and time again on my ipod!!! I am not a Charlotte Church fan, nor an Opera fan. I just love this album. Its different, beautiful and pretty and a lovely change of pace. And you bond with it too, I love it the more I listen to it, whereas at the beginning I knew I liked some of the songs, but wasn't sure about the whole album. Try a listen on itunes! This is a breath of fresh air. I love listening to it on flights, its an escape from everything around. It probably lowers stress levels!! :)

Chaco flip flops in "blossom" - REI

Love the support and quality and comfort of these! A dream for flip flop wearers who want good support! REI had them on sale, so shop around for prices and sales!!

Despicable Me

Can't remember the last time I watched an entire kids movie and enjoyed it. Just saw this recently and loved it!!

Microwave heating bag - Mall

So some people have these that might just sit around. I on the other hand use mine faithfully and love it!! Its a nice relaxing aromatherapy steam heat that comes from mine (its one of those you get at a peddler at the mall). Its great for naturally curing headaches, neck pain, lower back pain, stomach uncomfortability, helping fall asleep easier (I put it over my forehead and eyes some nights and am out like a light!) I've had it for years and its still trekkin'! Its good not to overheat it (to not burn the kernel things in it, or your skin), and based on which microwave/wattage you're using, play around and figure out the perfect time for it.
